KOWLOON, HONG KONG -- (Marketwired) -- Jul
06, 2015 --
Tosca at The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong has long embodied the best
of Italian culture and cuisine. And while its handmade pastas,
seafood and steak have earned its Michelin star Chef Pino Lavarra
much acclaim, Tosca is expanding its horizons with the new Red
Afternoon Tea. For just four Saturdays in August, guests can
indulge in delicacies and treats that are as exciting and artisanal
as that other great Italian brand: Ferrari with its Ferrari Junior
Collection*, a line created exclusively for Asia.

"Afternoon tea," Chef Pino notes, "is not a common tradition in
Italy, and it's never before been served at Tosca. That's why our
Red Afternoon Tea blends artisanal traditions with Italian
gastronomy -- it had to be entirely original and dynamic to be a
part of Tosca."

Named after a color that represents success and takes on a new
meaning with the Ferrari Junior Collection, the Red Afternoon Tea
distinguishes itself from others served at even the finest hotels
in Hong Kong.

While Ferrari and other Italian goods demonstrate luxury, they
equally demonstrate craftsmanship. The Ritz-Carlton brand adheres
to an Art of the Craft philosophy, where artisan collaborations
enhance the guest experience at this waterfront hotel in Hong Kong
as well as at properties around the world. In this same tradition,
the Red Afternoon Tea showcases a tantalizing selection of
carefully crafted delicacies whose ingredients hail from Maranello,
the same region that Ferrari S.p.A. calls home. It is also a region
known for its Parma ham and parmesan cheese, both of which appear
in the tea's grissini stick, parmesan pop and
saffron rice wheel.

The other connection between Tosca's tea and Ferrari Junior
Collection is even more obvious. The checkered flags, the faux
wheels and the car key made from white chocolate all evoke the
thrill that only Ferrari can inspire. They also demonstrate the
creativity of Executive Pastry Chef Richard Long, who, along with
Chef Pino and their teams, will prepare panna cotta with red
berry compote, red fruit macarons, blood-orange
sphere, strawberry pistachio tartlet and cannoli with
raspberry mascarpone cream, all for this exclusive tea. For
full menu, please refer to appendix.

The Red Afternoon Tea captures the elegance of The Ritz-Carlton,
the luxury of Ferrari and the craftsmanship of a Michelin-starred
culinary team. Priced at HK$480 per person, including a glass of NV
Ferrari Brut Rosé, the Red Afternoon Tea is available on
August 8, 15, 22 and 29, 2015 at Tosca, Level 102 of The
Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong. All prices are subject to 10% service
charge. For reservations, please contact Restaurant Reservations at
